A new concept of art in Foz do Iguaçu
A technical team from the Pompidou Center will participate in rounds of discussions with a team from Paraná, yet to be formed, on the needs and conceptualization of the space. This phase is expected to last ten months.
Marc Pottier, the project's international coordinator, states that “In addition to the museum project, this exchange is very important. We have some Brazilian artists exhibited in France. And this exchange will be very important in the future.”
“The Pompidou is very fond of Brazil and the response from Foz do Iguaçu has always been very positive”, said Marc Pottier.
Importance of the Museum
For the governor, an international museum is always a vanguard initiative. It will further promote tourism in the region, adding a cultural focus to a visit that is intensely sought after by Brazilians and foreigners alike.
“We have been negotiating for two and a half years and we have succeeded. We have now signed this agreement, which will be a transformation and a great version of the Pompidou in Latin America. Culture will be an inducer of tourism, because visits to museums move billions of dollars around the world. It's the icing on the cake for Foz do Iguaçu”, celebrated the governor.
About the Pompidou
Almost unknown at the time, architects Gianfranco Franchini, Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano, now internationally acclaimed, came up with a technological project that turned construction inside out, leaving the structures exposed and the interior free for art.
And thus the monster of Paris was born. That was the center's nickname shortly after its construction in 1977.
The exoskeleton made of glass, tubes and steel cables makes it possible to clearly identify the function of each element of the building through color.
One of Europe's largest museums of modern art
Among the various institutions it houses, the Pompidou is home to the National Museum of Modern Art, one of the largest European museums of modern and contemporary art, with over 60,000 works.
Today, the Pompidou Center in Paris is an effervescent cultural complex that houses a library, a sculpture studio, cinema, dance and a center for music and acoustic studies.
In addition to the French headquarters, the Pompidou has “antennas”, as its units are called, in Belgium, Spain and China.
